Walks Through Auckland's Geological Past: A Guide to the Geological Formations of Rangitoto, Motutapu, and Motuihe Island

Published by the Geological Society of New Zealand, Lower Hutt, 1982, 24 pages.

Geological Society of New Zealand Guidbook No. 5. The essential features of Auckland's geological history can be seen in walks on Rangitoto, Motutapu, and Motuihe Islands at the entrance of Auckland's harbour. The guidebook represents the geology of the Auckland area as seen on the inner gulf islands in relatively non-technical language. It explains the natural forces and processes that have produced the present landscape of the islands, and describes some of the walks which can be taken.
